Fall

I love the season of Fall. It has been extremely warm and does not feel like fall but I think it is coming. Life has been very busy.
Randy is still working at Fleet-lite. Last week he received the Aaronic Priesthood. It has been interesting to watch the changes that Randy has made in his life. I am so proud of him.
Zach continues to be a great kid except that he does not like to go to work. He is taking a break from school for now but hopefully that won't last to long.
Justin is in 4th grade. He has a very strict teacher and is finally getting used to all the requirements that she has in class. He is playing football and loving it. It has been fun to watch Justin evolve from a young kid into a great young man.
Charly is in 1st grade and loving every minute of it. She has a boy/friend named Corman. It is funny to watch her face light up when she talks about him. She is my social butterfly and is unable to hold still for a minute.
I am still working at the wound clinic. I love being a nurse and interacting with patients. I grow so much from being part of what they are going through. I feel honored to help them overcome their wounds. I am still working on getting my bachelors degree in nursing. I should be done in March.
My family is amazing. It has been amazing to watch and experience all the changes that we have made as a family. I have amazing such amazing parents, mother-in-law, siblings, children, aunts/uncles, and cousins who have made such an impact on my life. Some of you will never know your examples have impacted my life. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful families and experiences with my family.

Summer Blessings

Life has been busy and fun over the last year. I have an amazing family and am so grateful for all the blessings that they give me.
I am still going to school. To say that I love it would be a huge lie however, I will be grateful when it is over. I have learned a new world of nursing can be had if I choose. I am still working at the Wound clinic and enjoy working there.
Our family has experienced many wonderful experiences in the last 2 months. Justin was baptized on July 26. Zachary encouraged us to go back to church and a few weeks after going back to church, Justin began the missionary lessons. We had wonderful sister missionaries; Sister Blackwelder and Sister Schwartz. They touched and changed our lives forever. A few weeks into the missionary lessons, Randy agreed to be baptized. I am amazed the changes that have occurred in Randy's life since making this decision. He quit smoking and was baptized on July 10. Elder Watts and Elder Calderwood were amazing and helped complete the lessons and performed the baptism and confirmation. I never believed that this day would come and I am amazed at Randy's faith and belief in the Church.
Zachary has had a very difficult past 6 months but appears to be doing better and is striving to make the changes in his life that he needs to. I am so proud of Zach and am excited to see what the future holds for him.
Justin has finished 3rd grade and is not at all excited for 4th grade. He just registered for football and is excited for the practices and games to begin. He is a funny kid and constantly keeps us laughing.
Charly has finished kindergarten and cannot wait for 1st grade. She is very active and is constantly on the go. She loves going to primary and learning about everything.
I have an amazing family and love the life that they give me. I am grateful for all the blessings in my life.
